I have a web page with the element:

<div id='myid'></div>

In chrome dev tools, when I type in the console

document.getElementById('myid')

returns a html element,

<div id='myid'></div>

is there an alternative method I can use to view it and it's properties as a JavaScript object instead rather than a html element?

convert html to javascript

I have seen this post, but all I want to do is get the element, not do any parsing and build something new and ideally in dev tools.

  • what does it mean javascript object? div equivalent javascript object, mean you are mixing HTML and Javascript. – Vaisakh PS Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 13:28
  • no, for example when I use document.getElementById('myid').outerHTML I get a html string returned. I would like to use a method that displays it as a list of elements as an object instead. – apollowebdesigns Commented Sep 20, 2018 at 13:34

Yes if you are only interested in the dev tools (console), you can always use console.dir() method, it's made for this:

console.dir(document.getElementById('myid'));

console.dir() method:

Displays an interactive list of the properties of the specified JavaScript object. The output is presented as a hierarchical listing with disclosure triangles that let you see the contents of child objects.

Would do something like using the Document Element interface to access the array of attributes / properties.
